Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Arugula: Rinse the arugula leaves thoroughly under cold water and then pat them dry using a salad spinner or paper towels. Place the arugula in a large salad bowl.
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice or dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the arugula.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and then cut them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Add the cut tomatoes to the salad bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and vinegar. Whisk them together until they are well combined. You can season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve the garden salad immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients. This salad is a lovely accompaniment to any meal or can be enjoyed on its own as a light, healthy dish.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash the arugula and cherry tomatoes thoroughly before using them.
- Use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture. You can tell it's ripe when it yields slightly under gentle pressure.
- Feel free to add other fresh veggies or nuts, such as cucumbers or walnuts, to enhance the salad.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some salt and pepper or add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Toss the salad just before serving to ensure the ingredients stay crisp and fresh.
Congratulations! Your garden salad is now ready to be enjoyed. This dish is not only quick and easy to prepare but also packs a punch of nutrients and flavors. Serve it immediately to savor the freshness of the ingredients. Enjoy your healthy and delicious garden salad!
